The boat engines are way out of balance, The max tier engines use a ton of fuel and only get you upto 45KM/h
BUT the tier below max uses way less fuel and is only 1km/h slower.
I suggest making the max tier upgrade eather 50-55km/h or greatly reducing there fuel usage to balance them better.
Also the wheel house entrance, can we get a door there that can open/close?

I truly believe the game was intented to 4~6 km travel. (Hence the high consumption) Making pit-stops on your way to destination. Gather some stuff, build a small refinery, set up a small base. (Hence the large amount of scrap) Stay over for the night, kill some leeches. - So, not as a 30km go and return mission. And that's just the way I personally like it. 😆
Oh, and don't forget to water the trees. 😅

From the spreadsheets I've seen, it looks like the upgraded engines use slightly less fuel at the same speed, but more fuel at the same throttle.
Which makes a bit of sense, because the ratio of power: speed isn't linear. You can ramp up engine power and fuel use linearly, but speed gives you diminishing returns, which is realistic to how boats behave.
Many players like 70% throttle, because it loses little speed, but saves a lot of fuel.
